Hey Pav,
Here's one example of how a fifth grade teacher at our school used a wiki this year. She created the structure and loaded it with many of the resources and then the kids used it for a group research project. They took notes, and wrote rough and final drafts in the wiki. This allowed the teacher and fellow group members to follow and comment on their progress every step of the way. It also allowed parents to follow along. - Elaine Wrenn, Echo Horizon Elementary School. http://noahhorizon.pbwiki.com/
Hi Pav,
Jason Spivey's wiki's are great and so are some of the ones in our middle school now. I have the link to our middle school tech wiki and you can access the middle school wikis from there. I specially like the one by Fady Tabbara (well organized and very kid friendly). - Tim Bray, Dean of Students, Korea International School. http://kis-technology.wikispaces.com
